Let's be clear: The Trump Admin's vendetta against the SPLC is a sign of how impactful their work is. The SPLC has been at the forefront of exposing some of America's most notorious hate groups, like the KKK. The fact that the Trump Admin feels threatened by that speaks volumes.

Today, I met with the Illinois Health & Hospital Association to discuss the harms of the Trump Admin’s $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts. I heard directly from these hospital leaders about how the Trump cuts will impact their ability to provide critical care to their patients.

Today, I met with the Chicago Latino Caucus Foundation to discuss how we can fight back against the Trump Administration’s unprecedented attacks against immigrant communities. I am the son of an immigrant, and I will never turn my back on the people who built this country.

Trump Admin’s short-sighted policies are driving up costs for energy, health care, & more. I just delivered nearly $27M in LIHEAP aid to help RIers afford their home energy bills & will continue to block Trump’s efforts to eliminate this critical program.

Vaccines save lives. Flu outbreaks threaten military readiness. But this Administration clearly doesn’t care. This Administration's junk science is jeopardizing the health of our troops and our national security. Shameful.

I asked X, Paramount, ABC, and Meta where their donations to Trump's Presidential Library went. None of them could give a clear answer. Tens of MILLIONS of dollars are missing. Why should Americans trust that this money isn’t going straight into Donald Trump’s pockets?

Rock Island Arsenal is a pillar of the region and a center of innovation. But the Army executed significant personnel changes at the Arsenal without consulting Congress. I joined @duckworth.senate.gov, Senator Grassley, & @ericsorensen.bsky.social to demand answers from the Army about this shift.

I come from a union family, and I know firsthand what unions have done for millions of Americans. I spent my morning with the Chicago & Cook County Building & Construction Trades Council and the Illinois AFL-CIO to thank them for the hard work they do maintaining the American dream.

Tomorrow, RFK Jr. is back before the Senate to answer for the dangerous conspiracy theories he’s pushed from the highest seat in American public health. His own testimony made clear he was unfit for this role from the start. He should never have been confirmed.

Republicans are working hard to cut another blank check to ICE and CBP with NO reforms. Americans want affordable health care and housing—NOT billions of their tax dollars funneled to rogue agencies. I voted NO.

The President spent more on bombs in ONE WEEK of his war with Iran than we spend in an entire YEAR to help parents afford child care. Trump & RFK Jr. are asking to spend $500B more for war—but they won't increase funding for child care by a cent.

Lori Chavez-DeRemer was a scandal-ridden disgrace but more importantly she ended up being a stooge for Trump's anti-worker, pro-billionaire policies. America deserves leaders who stand up for working people and the middle-class.

It’s been weeks since the Senate came together across party lines to pass a bill to pay TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard. As the Trump Admin warns it won’t be able to pay TSA agents after this next paycheck, House Republicans continue to play politics and block the bipartisan deal to pay TSA.

Instead of doing literally anything to lower costs, Republicans are now racing to give ICE & CBP another $70 billion without ANY accountability. Families want relief from sky-high prices, not more of their tax dollars thrown at a rogue agency that doesn’t respect their rights.

This is a moral catastrophe. Republicans in Congress cut health care to give billionaires a tax break. Now, 500k+ Georgians have lost their health insurance. Too many will go bankrupt from treatable illnesses or avoid getting care until it’s too late.

Seniors on fixed incomes can't absorb rising costs the way others can. In Arizona, 1 in 5 residents is over 65. Washington doesn't talk about that enough. My Cost of Living Emergency Act is designed to protect them and the retirement they earned.

During Trump's first year the NIH supported 2,700 fewer projects, including a 31% drop in projects with the word "women" in them. Trump's attack on science is undermining American innovation & more importantly, is an attack on Americans' health.
